HI Jared- I've watched the Pittsburgh neighborhood appreciate from 100k ARV to mid 100's and then push north 200k. Investors are doing new builds and additions now. The proximity to the city and development of Pittsburgh yards make this a solid area to invest. Lot sizes are small and the houses are shotgun, but that shouldn't deter you since the surrounding comps are the same.

Hi Jeremy,

Full disclosure - I'm the General Manager for New Western Marietta location

I'd like to take the time to give some context about this post and its regrettable to hear your feedback about this deal.  At the mercy of your lender approving the loan and providing lender instructions to the closing attorney, we worked with you and extended closing 8 days.  We double close on properties and just as we sign a contract with an owner to close on an agreed upon date, we ask that our buyers do the same.  This is all disclosed in the meeting we have with investors prior to sending them deals.  When we learned your insurance provider was unresponsive, we suggested another provider that has provided policies for us and many other investors.  All of this was done to assist and get you into a good deal.  With time running out we were willing to close on the property and hold it until your loan was approved which is why we asked you to wire some additional down payment money to the attorney.

The agent working with you informs me that you still reach out to him regarding additional properties and seem to have an interest in continuing to work with us.  We'd be happy to work with you further and will take your feedback constructively and look for areas to improve customer service.  

I owned 10 rentals in Covington for about 6 months. I used Legend Realty and thought they did a good job. I wound up selling the properties but overall was happy with Legend.

Sure

Hi Michael- Welcome to bigger Pockets! I also own a condo in Midtown which I purchased in 2012 and with good timing just managed make it top of wait list for renting as I moved into a house. I’m personally investing heavily in most of the areas south of Midtown and find the appreciation the most appealing factor. Good luck!

Another option would be to contact some turnkey companies and agree to buy the property once tenant is placed and turn key. You’ll basically pay retail but for an investor that is already flipping the home it’s a win win. They find a buyer and you find a great house. Couple of 2/1 in and around parts of Smyrna that would work well. Appx 150k purchase with $1300-1400 rent.

With 50-60k you might want to consider buying a fixer upper and building some equity with the renovation. You’ll need a hard money loan of course. Your exit strategy #1 is to flip the house and learn a lot about a new neighborhood. Exit strategy #2 is to refinance into conventional loan and cash flow, while having built in equity. Lots of factors in all of this but no better way to build some experience. I own properties all over Atlanta and it will be tough for you to compete on screaming deals with conventional financing on listed properties.

Hi Nick, I've always got 8-9 flips going at a time. Feel free to message me and I'll be happy to share the contact info for the electrician I use. Brad
